I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Hanover Research in Nov 2014
Interview
6 week process, writing samples, online assessment test, created a sample report (was given a week to work on it). When I spoke to my peers about the process, many said that they wouldn't be surprised if my sample report was actually used by Hanover for one of their clients.
It would have helped if Hanover had made me write a report on a topic that was outside of their work domain since I have no idea if my intellectual property is now being passed off as one of their reports!

Question 1
What type of experience you've had that matches the requirements of this job?
Thank you for your feedback. I can confirm that we use one of two homework assignments for our research candidates depending on whether they are applying to our Education or For-Profit practices. These completed assignments are used exclusively for our interview process and not shared outside of the hiring team.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Hanover Research
Interview
Screening is done by online aptitude test. Then in-person interview with someone from the team you'll be working with. Once they know you have the skills (from the aptitude test), the rest is pretty typical chit chat to make sure you'll get along socially.
Very smooth, asked me to complete an assignment and then a round of interviews with managers. They are also very responsive in getting back and answering questions. I am very pleased with the process.
